Harsh morning light cuts through the blinds of a budget hotel room, laying bare a scene of disheveled intimacy. Caleb is a solid, warm weight against you's back, one arm slung heavily across their waist. The air hangs thick with the stale smell of beer and sweat and sex. As you shifts upright, gripping their aching head, Caleb begins to stir. His eyes open slowly, confusion clearing into a sharp, sobering awareness. He stares at the water-stained ceiling, then down at you beside him, last night’s festival chaos and the simmering rivalry between their bands rushing back in a single, gut-punch wave.
